bottle thanks to swalden28. poured deep amber with an off white head. aroma and flavor were grain, caramel, pine, and some spice. body was light with high carbonation.

Draft @ Lucky Shoe random bar in Angel Fire, NM, where they serve the beers in frosted glasses even when it’s below freezing outside. Odell’s 90 shilling pours a warm dark amber with nice lace even on the frozen glass. The aroma has nice toasty malts and minty hop atop. Served icy cold comes across as thin but has nice clean malty and balanced flavors. Alright.

Bottle. Red, copper colour with light white head. Malt nose. Malt and fruit flavour with a touch of caramel. Very mild hop bitterness. This is good shit.

Great beer in the bottle, but especially so on tap. Whatever style you’re into, you can appreciate the rich, maltiness of this brew that falls between an Amber and a Brown Ale. I drink this year round whenever I’m not sure what style I’m in the mood for and it always satisfies.

Bottled, 355ml from Favourite Beers, Cheltenham, Gloucs. Reddish amber with white head. Initially the carbonation was fairly harsh, giving a sharp, metallic note, but when this eased a fruity, plummy, malty flavour appears, smooth and quite full. There is a hop oil flavour for hints of bitterness. Definitely a beer to drink slowly.

Deep copper, clear, small head (dissipates fast), mediocre lacing, malty nose, not very distinctive, slight metallic taste, semi-sweet and slightly bitter, short finish, soft carbonation and medium body. Not very distinctive at all.

Bottle. Clear amber with small of-white head. Aroma is malt, caramel, little wood and fruit. Flavour is malt, caramel, fruit, wood, medium sweet, hops, little toffee and a little bitter.

Clear dark amber with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet malty, caramel, fruity and a little wood. Flavor is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Dry and moderate bitter finish. 221111
